WATER QUALITY
Raising people’s consciousness.
The water in 大PENCIL is exposed to thoughts & emotions of the visiting people
The quality of thought & emotion affects the quality of water, and the quality of water
affects the quality of the grown crops
Music inside 大PENCIL is played, selected by the local people (for example, classical
music is known to improve the water crystal as it soothes the mind)
The dominant water crystal is monitored and projected outside
– The base of a water crystal is always hexagonal, also
the base of the 大PENCIL design
– ’Branches’ (indicating high quality) growing out of the 6
hexagonal crystal points are projected in 3D out of the
大PENCIL hexagonal base at the pencil top (see picture)
Thus, 大PENCIL not only indicates the level of consciousness of the local people, but
also helps to raise it

EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION
Preventing human loss.
Animals and indigenous people experience premonitions prior to earthquakes,
enabling them to timely move to safe grounds
– E.g. in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami almost no animals and indigenous people died
Premonition is usually characterized by sudden feelings of anxiety suggesting
impending disaster
Modern humans too have this sixth sense faculty, however, as we have become so
divorced from nature, it is obscured by the continuous thought chatter of our minds
Monitoring & projecting the 大PENCIL water crystal makes visitors more conscious
– Our chattering minds calm down and there is a sense of peace
– Our strong sense of separation weakens: there is a sense of oneness, making us feel more
connected to other humans and to nature
People visiting 大PENCIL will therefore have quiet minds and be free of anxiety, so
they become receptive to ’premonition anxiety’ in the event of a striking earthquake
As anxiety degrades the water crystal, when enough people have premonitions,
there will be a distinct degradation visible in the monitored 大PENCIL crystal,
indicating an approaching earthquake
大PENCIL’s located closer to the epicentre will show more pronounced degradation
patterns
This way, earthquakes will be anticipated naturally and better than any conventional
prediction technique can

OPERATION
Run by the people for the people.
大PENCIL is non-profit and run by volunteering people
The mobile communication station is leased to network operators
– Operators will be interested to lease, because:
• It opens up new business opportunities (see slide 7)
• It associates them with this consciousness-raising project and thus brings them good
publicity
The construction and maintenance of 大PENCIL are financed by the operator's lease
payment
The greenhouse crops are free to everyone
– Every household is yearly given an amount of 大PENCIL ’food credits’ (depending on e.g.
family size) whereby food can be ’ordered‘
– Credits can be consumed in any 大PENCIL, however consumption in the closest 大PENCIL is
encouraged (consumption in more distant ones costs more credits)
In dense urban areas, 大PENCIL’s can be built on top of existing buildings in varying
heights and widths
On the 6 vertical sides of the pencil, art (paintings, photos, poems...) can be projected,
in order to promote local events or exhibit artwork by artists, children etc.
